1999 Chrysler Lhs Body & structure Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the body or structure system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Body & structure reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

DASH IS SPLITTING WHERE AIR BAG GOES I BOUGHT CAR OCT. 1999 I ONLY HAD 10,200 MILES ON IT, SITS IN GARAGE WHEN NOT DRIVEN. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WILL IT DEPLOY ACCIDENTALLY ON MY PASSENGER FOR NO REASON OR NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. I FELT IT'S A MFG. ERROR AND IT SHOULD BE REPLACED.
